MemberYou know, I know exactly what you mean, and if you google the “medical definition of brain fog”, it describes my symptoms perfectly. However I suggest you be careful and use the more specific symptoms before you say “brain fog” to your neurologist. I told mine right off the bat “brain fog” and he immediately went off that BF was not caused by MG and he started looking for other things that may cause BF such as lack of sleep and sleep apnea. And my guy specializes in MG! To a neuro, BF is associated with other neurological issues. So when I went into detail about the symptoms, I think I convinced him, I just used the wrong terminology off the bat.
My BF always hits me in the afternoon and is really bad after In have worked several hours at my desk. FYI, I take a daily injection of Zilbrysq in the morning, early. I also take 120mg of Mestinon three times daily. The only think that relieves my BF is to go lay down for a couple of hours and sometimes I fall asleep. When I wake up however, I’m good for a few more hours until bedtime. Good luck to you.
